ILLUMINATION. 


T no time in the history of the world has there been such 

AN a demand for a cheap, pure and good light as at the 

present, and while in past generations artificial lignt 

was considered one of the greatest luxuries, to the present it 
has come to be an absolute necessity. 

Not only are homes cheered, brightened and beautified at 
night by brilliant illumination, but in the business world 
progressive, modern industry is sleepless; darkness is turned 
into daylight, and the ceaseless roar of machinery in the great 
workshops and manufactories smites the ear during the long 
hours of night, operated under the rays of artificial light. 

The necessity of illumination being an established fact, the 
question which interests every consumer is what process will 
give the most satisfactory results, viz: the best and most con- 
venient light at the least expense. 

The question of a cheap illuminant is one which for many 
years has affected, and still affects all metropolitan communi- 
ties. There is scarcely a city that has not had its “gas war.” 
Bitter contests have insued, rings and cliques and pools and 
syndicates and trusts have been formed, and municipalities 
have divided on the question of an economic and satisfactory 
artificial light supply, because in these rushing modern times 
there are so many business pursuits that must necessarily be

carried on between the going down of the sun and the rising 
thereof. 


Few topics are of more absorbing interest than ‘The Gas 
Question”’; especially so when coupled with the significant 
fact that high gas bills and poor light are synonymous, only 
bettered to a small degree by competition where there are 
several Gas Companies in a town, which is the exception rather 
than the rule. 


Electricity has thus far proved an unsatisfactory agent for 
lighting purposes; for, aside from the dangers of electric light 
wires, it is always uncertain and extremely expensive, and the 
cost of individual plants, in small towns where no general 
system is in operation, involves an expense that private indiv- 
iduals or even small corporations cannot afford. 


But obedient to duty the inventive genius of man springs 
responsively to omntpotent will in the happy solution of the vexed 
guestion of cheap and pure light. 


Dhesadvent of the “New Light” marks an era in the 
history of artificial lighting. It places the luxury of a first- 
class light, with all its attendant conveniences, within the 
reach of all, at a very moderate cost, no matter where located.

It has been thoroughly tested during the past four years, 
and more than 20,000 are now in actual service, furnishing a 
brighter light, of greater luminosity, than either gas or incan- 
descent electric, replacing both standard systems, and giving 
universal satisfaction, as is testified to by hundreds employing 
this system. 


The new light is simple, practical, effective and economical. 
Through absolutely perfect combustion it gives a more bril- 
liant, mellow light than gas or incandescent electric, of greater 
illuminating power, and at one fourth the cost. 


The new system produces a maximum light at minimum 
cost; and these results are obtained by scientific principals as

“old as the hills,” and so simple that a child of ordinary intelli- 
gence can readily comprehend its operation. 


The American Automatic System of Lighting consists of 
an entirely new method for utilizing hydro-carbon (kerosine 
oil); eliminating objections to oil lights, and substituting all 
the conveniences of gas, securing perfect combustion, combined 
with wonderful brilliancy of flame. 

The oil is supplied from a small central reservoir through 
tubes direct to burners, which may be located to suit conveni- 
ence in any part of a building, or outside. 


The system is extremely simple, absolutely automatic in 
operation, requiring no care whatever beyond replenishing the 
supply in the reservoir when exhausted. 

It is impossible to get out of order, as there is no compli- 
cated mechanical device employed or pressure applied in its 
operation. 

The flow of oil is conducted on the syphon principle by 
force of gravity, thus employing one of the oldest, simplest and 
best known scientific principles of controlling the flow of liquids. 

The syphon employed is so constructed as to give a con- 
tinuous even flow to the burners, consequently there is no 
flickering. of the flame whatever, and the light is always 
uniform. 

The burners used in this system are similar to Argand gas 
burners, and differ materially from any previously employed 
in the consumption of hydro-carbon oil, having been designed 
especially for this system, to produce the best possible light. 
The result is a steady brilliant flame of wonderful luminosity. 

By this system three gallons of oil will produce light equal 
to 1,000 cubic feet of gas, and any number of burners may be 
attached. 

The “New Light” is capable of being applied wherever 
gas can be conducted, and the fixtures employed are practically 
the same in both construction. and operation, viz: hanging 
chandeliers, standards, movable side brackets, etc., of any 
required design or number of burners, the expense being 
governed by the design and ornamentation. 


‘SHLNOJ ANIN LSala Oo TEzZY AO ONIAVS V AAVIY “SVD ONIOVIGTY ‘NNOD ‘CUOAONITIVM, LV “WU 'H PCH ON “WA CN Loaaq 





The “New Light” is operated exactly as is gas, simply 
requiring the turning of a thumb screw in raising and lowering 
the flame, or extinguishing it at will, Each burner is entirely 
independent. 

There is positively no odor from this system, either while 
lighted or after it is extinguished. 





COST OF THE “NEW LIGHT.” 


This depends upon the price of kerosene, which varies 
from five to twelve cents per gallon. Taking this as a basis, 
the cost per thousand feet is from fifteen to thirty-six cents, 
three gallons being a liberal estimate of the amount of fluid 
required to produce light equal to that from a thousand feet 
of gas. 

The economy of lighting by the Automatic System has 
induced many large consumers of gas and electricity to adopt 
the “New Light” with most gratifying results, the cost of the 
change being quickly saved in the lessened bills.

DHE “NEW eL1G i U.N US 


The following report received by the officials of the New — 
York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Company from Wal- 
lingford Station, shows the large difference in favor of the 
‘New Light” as compared with gas: 

‘‘ During nine months, just ended, the total expense of 
lighting this depot with the ‘‘New Light” was $38.43. The 


expense of the previous nine months, during which gas was _ 


burned, was $270, to light the same depot.” Thus showing a 
difference of $231.37 in favor of the ‘*New Light” in nine 
months, and the Station Agent reports that the illuminating | 
power produced by the new system is three times what it 
formerly was by gas. These are marvellous fiigures, but true. 


The expense of lighting the depot with gas and 
electricity at Middletown, Conn., on N. Y., N. H. & oi 
H. R. R. from December 1, 1890, to June 1, 1891, was $271.20 


Cost of ‘‘ New Light” from December 1, 1891, to 
June 1, 1892, using 1150 1-2 gallons of oil, at 7 cents 
per gallon, - - - - - - 105.04 





A saving in six months of - - - $166.16

ECONOMICAL AND SATISFACTORY, 
STORES IN TOWN THAT HAVE BEEN FITTED WITH A NEW ILLUMINATING AGENT. 


New London, Conn., April 12, 1892. 

The advent of the “ New Light,” as it is called, marks an era in the history of 
artificial illumination in this city. It places the luxury of a first-class light with all 
its advantages within the reach of everybody, as its cost of maintenance is less than 
one-third the cost of gas or electricity. It is noticed that some of State street’s 
merchants have adopted the « New Light” and find it most satisfactory. The large 
clothing store of Frederick H. Harris is fitted with it. C.C. Perkins’ Hat Palace in 
the Cronin block is supplied with it. Perry & Stone, who are about to open a store 
at the old stand of Hobron & Son, have contracted for a “ New Light” plant, and 
there are others who contemplate putting itin. * * * Morning Telegram,

THE ‘“‘NEW LIGHT.” 


Hinsdale, N. H., Friday, July 1, 1892. 

The Fisk Paper Company are putting new lights into the Brightwood Mill, of a 
kind ‘not heretofore used in this town. They are furnished by The American 
Automatic Lighting Ccmpany, of Meriden, Conn. They are kerosene lights, supplied 
from a tank on the syphon system, small tubes carrying the oil from tank to burner, 
and automatically replenishing it as fast as used. The apparatus has been put up 
under the direction of D. W. Goodnow, of Keene, agent of the company in this 
section. Seven burners have been put in the office and shipping room, and forty 


more:are to be put in other parts of the mill. The lights givea splendid illumination,

PRESS NOTICES. 


A FINE LIGHT. 

Many people visited the Young Men’s Christian Association Building 
last evening to see the ‘‘New Light’ in operation. It proves to be a 
splendid light, more than was expected. The rooms were as bright as day. 
The chandeliers were much admired. Each burner is guaranteed by the 
American Automatic Lighting Company, who put in the system, to be 
4o-candle power. With four such burners in a single room one can judge 
the effect. The Association directors feel that they have made no mistake 
in their purchase. * * * Torrington (Conn.) Times. 


A LIGHT LIKE NOONDAY SUN. 

There can be no better illustration of the numerous. ways of doing a 
thing, and the different results obtained, than may be seen by calling at 
No. 17 Dey Street, where the American Automatic Lighting Company have 
their ‘‘ New Light”’ on exhibition. If the visit is made in the evening, the 
first question, after the astonishment at the dazzling brilliancy of the light 
is over, invariably is: Ilow do they make it? What substance do they 
use ? and when told that it is simply the old fashion kerosene oil, manipu- 
lated in an entirely new manner, amazement is expressed at the difference 
in results. The old method cannot be at all compared with this beautiful, 
steady and brilliant ‘‘New Light.” * * * New York Daily Press. 


THE = NEW.-LIGHT.” 
Malden, Mass., March 5, 1892. 

The American Automatic Lighting Co.’s System of lighting, known 
here as the ‘‘ New Light,’ has been adopted by Murray & Wiley, the well 
known dry goods dealers, Barrett Building, Pleasant street, to illuminate 
their store, with results exceedingly satisfactory. The store was lighted 
for the first time on Tuesday evening by this system, and can be seen now 
any evening. Its merits are so evident to all who see it that we can safely 
assert it as a light that has come to stay, and will be viewed with a great 
deal of interest by owners of stores, factories and all business places, where 
the cost of lighting is an important item in the running expenses. 

The same system may also be seen at the drug store of W. B. South- 
worth, Pleasant street, where it has been in operation several weeks with 
the same satisfactory results, and has received the highest commendation 
from all who have seen it. To say it has no equal would, say those who 
have investigated it, be a very tame expression, for there is nothing that 
begins to compare with it in brilliancy and cheapness, the two great essent- 
ials which will maintain its permanency against all other systems. * “ *

LIGHTED WITH THE “ New Licurt.” REPLACING ELECTRIC AND Gas LIGHTS. 


ELECTRICITY’S RIVAL, 


When the electric light was invented it was considered one of the 
greatest scientific achievements of the world. Now people have become 
familiar with it, and many dislike its glaring brightness and deep black 
shadows. It lightens one section of a room as bright as day and leaves the 
other in darkness. It is almost useless for some purposes, and gas is still 
used freely both in parlors and stores. ‘This state of things has been going 
on for some time, but now comes ancther invention which solves the 
difficulty in every way. It is a hydro-carbon system, the oil being carried 
through pipes from a tank to the burners, and feeding the lights automati- 
cally. The pipes and fixtures are put in by the American Automatic 
Lighting Company. ‘The system is already introduced in numerous cities, 
but not until last week was it put into any establishment in Providence. 
Then Messrs. Potter & Hunt, the enterprising shoe dealers of Westminister 
street, took hold of it, and last evening their pretty and commodious 
establishment was lit up brilliantly, yet so evenly distributed were the 
burners that no offensive blaze of light shone in any one spot. A small 
tank in a side room holds the oil from which the burners are fed and 
operates automatically. Wherever it has been introduced complete satis- 
faction is given. As to price, this light is 75 per cent. cheaper than either 
gas or electric. All in all, this seems to be what has long been needed as a 
happy medium between the other systems. * * * Providence KR. I. Telegram. 


THES ONE We LIGHT. 
San Francisco, April 27, 1892. 

Strolling up the south side of Markct street last evening, when apposite 
the Baldwin Hotel, the attention of a representative of the Journal of 
Commerce was attracted by the brilliant illumination of a store. Looking 
at the window, he was struck by the steadiness of the light, the novelty of 
the fixtures and their elegant appearance. Going into the store to be 
further enlightened he found that the ‘‘ New Light” was being thrown on 
its contents by lights having all the appearance of elegant gas fittings. 
The proprietor kindly explained that it was the new method of burning 
kerosene, showed how superior it was to gas or electricity in brilliancy and 
steadiness and freedom from risk of explosion. The light which is equal to 
thirty-eight candles, costing only about a fourth of the priie of eithcr gas 
or electricity.—Dazly Journal cf Con:merce.

THE WONDERFUL “‘ NEW LIGHT.” 
Westerly, R. I., May 21, 1892. 

The coming of the ‘‘New Light” marks a great era in the history of 
artificial illumination in our town. This is, indeed, an age oi progress. 
Think of it! Within the memory of men now living, we have gone step by 
step from the pine knot to the tallow candle ; from the tallow candle to the 
whale oil lamp, which was soon set aside for the kerosene oil lamp. Then 
comes illuminating gas and finally the electric light. The tireless energy 
of man, seemingly responsive to the will of God, has now succeeded in 
producing a system of artificial lighting, which, in power and brilliancy, has 
relegated all previous lights to the almost forgotten past.» Crowds of people 
last evening visited the stores of E. N. Denison & Co., jewelers, and L. R. 
Cone & Co., who have adopted the new system and speak in the highest 
terms of the new light. Enterprising merchants like W. B. Gavitt, I. G. 
Barber and several others have placed their contracts for the new system, 
also the Baptist church in Ashaway has contracted to put in the new light. 
Indeed, are we not living in an age of progress ?>— Westerly City Trzbune. 


BRILLIANT ILLUMINATION. 


Two brilliantly lighted drug stores in this city, are those of Charles P. 
Alden and George A. Hill, which attract no little attention to the system of 
illumination used in both, and certain discoveries as to the cheapness of the 
“New Light” command the lively interest of all who have to deal with the 
problem of lighting private residences, stores, halls and manufactories. 
The system mentioned is the so called hydro-carbon, and Mr. Alden put it 
in his store on December 15, 1890. The seventeen burners which he is 
using replace seventeen incandescent lights, and by his testimony they give 
fully 50 per cent. more light than the latter did; whereas his electric lights 
cost him over $200 a year, three months’ experience with the hydro-carbon 
system indicates that the cost by the new method will be under $75 a year. 
Similar results have attended the trial at Mr. Hill’s store, which enjoys a 
local renown for its bright and hospitable evening glow. Another estab- 
lishment lighted by this means, to the complete satisfaction of the propri- 
etor, is Charles C. Lewis’ carriage supply store, on Lyman street. The 
multiplication of successful tests like this for the past five years, led Messrs. 
Warner, Allen & Co. to buy the patents for Western Massachusetts, with 
headquarters at 265 Main street, where they take orders, put the fixtures 
together and attend to the placing them wherever ordered. The business 
opens in a spirited manner, with ten concerns already supplied with the 
apparatus, and the eminent success of the local trials thus far give promise 


of an active demand. * * * Springfield (Alass.) [Tomestead.
